Notes: Total advertising measured using a 6-month sum scaled by units of 10. IOTM defined as illicit drugs other than marijuana. Models for total advertising and tagline include data from 1995-2006. Models for substance focus include data from 1999-2006. All models controlled for gender, race/ethnicity, GPA, college plans, parental education, truancy, nights out, income, region, and year.

a

Results from models without any campaign phase interactions.

b

Ad tagline noted both ONDCP and PDFA.

Significant interactions with total advertising and campaign phase found (p≤.01 or stronger). Campaign phase interaction models included total advertising, campaign phase dummies (with 1995-1998 as the referent), interactions with total advertising and campaign phase dummies for 1999-2002 and 2003-2006, and all other controls.

No significant campaign phase interactions found.
